The variable geometry seasoning tumbler (100) is an adjustable tumbling device that allows for the uniform application of seasoning of snack food product such as potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips, and the like. With the adjustable tumbling device, uniform application of seasoning can be achieved while minimizing snack food product breakage. The tumbler has adjustable upper and lower rolls (140, 142) that support a belt (150) that receives and processes the snack food product. The belt (150) has a catenary region (152) wherein snack product is processed in a tumbling bed. By adjusting one or both rolls, the dimensions of the tumbling bed and the inclination of the belt can be easily modified. Thereby, the tumbling parameters can be optimized for each type of snack product being seasoned.

L'invention concerne un tambour culbutant d'assaisonnement (100) ~ g~om~trie variable comprenant un dispositif culbutant r~glable qui permet d'appliquer uniform~ment un assaisonnement sur un produit alimentaire ~ grignoter tel que des croustilles de pomme de terre, de tortilla, de ma~s et analogue. Du fait que le dispositif culbutant est r~glable, il est possible d'appliquer l'assaisonnement de mani­re uniforme tout en limitant la fragmentation des produits alimentaires ~ grignoter. Ledit tambour culbutante comprend des cylindres sup~rieur et inf~rieur (140, 142) r~glables supportant une courroie (150) destin~e ~ recevoir et traiter le produit alimentaire ~ grignoter. Ladite courroie (150) comprend une r~gion cat~naire (152) dans laquelle le produit ~ grignoter est trait~ sur un lit culbutant. Il est facile de modifier les dimensions du lit culbutant et l'inclinaison de la courroie par r~glage de l'un ou des deux cylindres. On peut, de ce fait, optimiser les param­tres de culbute pour chaque type de produit ~ grignoter assaisonn~.
